I am really too young to know Andy Kaufman. I have heard stories from my dad and will now read up on him a bit after seeing this. I was totally enthralled in the movie. Jim Carrey gives us, perhaps his best performance ever. I think he drew the line perfectly to where the mystery between crazy and genius is so diluted that they become the same thing. This is a must-watch for most and a must-watch for people who were around for Kaufman
